Brimming with Blends!

Good morning!! Hoping you are having an excellent Sunday! I just wanted to post a little center I've been working on.

Lately my firsties have been having some trouble with blends in spelling words. In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving holidays, I created this center with a cornucopia theme. Brimming with blends has students read words on traditional cornucopia foods and then sort the word onto the matching blend onset cornucopia.

There are 80 words with blends and 15 cornucopias with blend onsets and a recording page. I've also included a smaller recording page with blank cornucopias where you can choose six mats and write in your own blends to make your center match the words you are studying. There is a page with blank foods also included. 

You can fill your spelling centers to the brim by clicking right here!! 

Enjoy :)
